“After a month of recruiting, we became one big and united family.”
-Yavor Ivanov, Chapter Vice President
In only a few months, PTPI’s Sofia, Bulgaria (The Doves) Student Chapter have recruited an astounding 42 new members. Now nearly 100 students are actively participating in the chapter.
This accomplishment was the result of hard work, dedication and LOTS of planning. Beginning in September 2009, chapter members planed a series of activities designed to spread the word about PTPI and explain how they actively promote Peace through Understanding in their community.
Their “Multilingual Peace Project” consisted of writing the word “peace” in multiple languages on small pieces of paper. Chapter members put the paper inside balloons, to symbolize the need for peace among all nations.
Many other creative activities followed, including team-building with classmates, educational games competitions, and a discussion between new and old members about the meaning of Peace through Understanding.
